On the subject of being an "agitator"!
I am a candidate for the conseil municipale in my little commune and was surprised/shocked that there were English residents not registered to vote in the municipal and European elections, as is, of course, your right as a French resident. Having today finally got confirmation of my acceptance into CMU (and breathed a sigh of relief) the whole episode has made me think and was one of the reasons for "putting up" as a counsellor. It's too late of course for these elections but you will be there for the next European elections so go to the Mairie and register to vote, you only have to do it the once not every year as in the UK. Our mayor here told me it was common for English people not to register and perhaps this can contribute to a belief that we don't want to be involved. None of this is a substitute for campaigning, of course, but every little helps.

As early retired CMU-B affiliates living in Hautes Pyrenees (dept 65), we received a similar letter yesterday confirming continuation of our affiliation after 31 March.
Because we hold an attestation (and all re-imbursements have continued to be made) and considered the E106 ers were more in need of CPAM time, we had not made any contact with our CPAM about continuation of cover - so the letter we received was entirely unsolicited. This strongly suggests that our prefecture town CPAM in Tarbes is now working its way through all relevant Hautes Pyrenees-registered early retirees informing them of the continuation of their cover; (this would seem to mirror other posters' experiences as well).
Great news indeed and well done to everyone who had any hand in this outcome.

Tremargatois, I do so agree - and this is a point we have made on our website (as well as including all the details about how to vote etc). During the recent problems, three of my own French MEPs were incredibly helpful - writing personal letters to the health minister on our behalf and lobbying in Europe. Knowing that I can vote for them surely helped! They will certainly be able to add my little cross on the ballot paper when the European elections come along, which is more than I can say for my UK representatives who did absolutely NOTHING!

We have been here since June 2005 not working and are early retirees
and our E106 expired Jan 2007 We do receive around £6,000 P.A. PAYE plus savings interest from The UK which was declared on our French Tax return. The CPAM asked for our Carte Vitales
back last year, and then subsequently returned them saying they were
valid till end March 2008. We haven't been in to the CPAM yet to sort
out next steps. But we have now received a letter and bills from the
URSSAF, Union de Recouvrement des Cotisations de Securite Sociale et
D'Allocation Familiales asking for payments for 2007. Has anyone else
received this and does anyone know if it is to do with CMU
contributions?

I think that the fourth quarter payment is the balancing one after your actual tax return for the preceeding year has been received and processed during the summer months. Until then the payment is an estimate based on your tax return from the year before that.

Not sure about that Benjamin, that does happen with income tax but not usually URSSAF payments, you are notified of the amounts by URSSAF and that is what you pay for the year.
What did happen to many people in 2006/7 was that the 3rd payment was not taken in December 2006 and that was taken together with the 4th one in March/ April 2007 which is what mogs may be referring to. However if they thought it was a mistake they should have contacted URSSAF or the CPAM English speaking help line for advice at the time. It looks like this year they might be a bit stricter about proof of earnings being only via French tax returns for continuing members and about time too.
